INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES

There was a time in the not too distant past where nonprofit organizations did not have enough information. People tracked information on paper forms, with giant filing cabinets, full of information that was nearly impossible to access, much less use it to see trends and report to funders.

The rise of databases was supposed to fix this problem. However for many nonprofit thre is now too much information. Information is stored in multiple databases, spreadsheets, and paper systems. The information is available, but due to incompatibilities and inconsistencies in the data, trends are still impossible to see, and reports to funders are still time consuming and tedious.

Information Management is the key area with which nonprofit organizations must contend in the next few years. Information has become critical to organizations. Accurate and timely information is essential as nonprofits face increasing examinations of outcomes and financial accountability from funders. This data is also heavily relied upon for determining program needs, following up with clients, and identifying trends that will necessitate increased funding, staff and program design.
